What Does an LVR Percentage Mean?

Your Loan-to-Value Ratio expresses your loan amount as a percentage of the property's value.

For example, an 80% LVR means that the loan amount is equal to 80% of the property's value. The basic calculation compares the loan amount with the property value.

LVR can change over time as your outstanding loan balance or property value changes.

Example: 80% LVR
Property value $800,000
Loan amount $640,000
Difference $160,000
Estimated LVR 80%
